Woman in Gold
Dir. Simon Curtis · PG-13 · 109 min · 4/1/2015
Helen Mirren plays Maria Altmann, an octogenarian who takes on the Austrian government to reclaim a Klimt painting stolen by the Nazis. A true story of an older woman’s determination, legal wit, and absolute refusal to let history be papered over. Mirren is at the height of her powers in a film that treats its older female lead as the unchallenged centre of moral gravity.
